Always telling the story no matter which language he uses – classical or jazz.

He and Phil will be having a pre-concert public chat about life as jazz pianists at 7pm in the same venue - St Mary's Church, in New Ross, Co Wexford. Up until now the New Ross Piano Festival has been purely classical and has an international following. In this, its 12th year, it is spreading its wings and looking forward to welcoming jazz enthusiasts from all over Ireland to what promises to be an exciting additional venture.
